I spent no more than 15 hours in a tank near a door with a small rectangle of glass through which 21 women and then 27 women could see barbed wire and light then dark outside. I was fed 6 times—5 “sack lunches” which included 2 slices of stale bread, 2 slices of slimy bologna, 2 crème cookies soaked in bologna juice, 1 packet of “salad dressing” (mayo), 1 packet of mustard, 1 packet of a “calcium mix” and 1 orange; and 1 “hot meal,” which included maybe turkey & definitely beans, a side of cooked carrots, some sauce, a salad, a cube of cornbread and a cube of cake. I used a toilet no more than 5 times. I slept no more than 4 hours. I was denied birth control. I heard someone with epilepsy was being denied medication. I met 2 people with serious illnesses who were denied medication. I watched 2 people go through withdrawal. I watched 1 woman use 1 toilet at least 10 times in no more than 2 hours. I spoke to 1 woman who confessed she was having suicidal thoughts. I gave 1 back rub. I received 0 back rubs. I spoke to 3 people on “the outside”: I spoke to 3 “trustees.” I spooned 3 women. I spooned 1 woman I had known previously. 104 WENDY TREVINO
I saw 2 women volunteer to stay inside longer to make sure 2 more women wouldn’t be left alone in their respective tanks. I saw 1 woman refuse release to make sure her friend would have a friend in the tank. I met 1 woman with an “Abortions Get Babies to Heaven Faster” fanny pack she likes to wear when she visits Texas. I saw 5 slices of bologna stick to a white wall. I heard harmonizing coming from a tank 2 times. I heard 1 person recite 1 poem to 2 pigs. I heard I had 1 welt on my back. I saw at least 5 bruises on each wrist. I heard 1 woman suggest not admitting injury unless it was severe. I met 2 women who chose not to report feeling ill for fear of being put in solitary confinement. I met 1 woman who had been released from Santa Rita no more than 2 days before. I crushed on 1 woman. I was 1 of at least 5 women crushing on 1 woman. I met at least 1 woman in a polyamorous relationship. I met at least 1 woman who had recently had sex in the woods. I met at least 1 woman who had recently had sex in a dressing room. I met 1 woman who suggested we start a website to replace the #OO camp. FROM SANTA RITA 128 TO 131 105
